In a statement released by Starmer's office following their evening meeting, the leaders condemned Russia's "large-scale missile and drone attacks — including the repeated use of the Oreshnik missiles — on Ukrainian cities with a tragic toll on civilians." They also condemned Russia's "irresponsible and dangerous Russian drone incursions" into NATO territory, including last month's in Romania.
